Minicon Energon parts issues

I was just testing the parts inlcuded with RID 2015 Tricerashot :RID-BOTS: :MINI: and one of the Blaster parts for the horns on his head got really stuck when trying to remove it and made me worried about breaking that horn :evil:

Has anyone else had issues with the Tricerashot mold or similar issues with small Minicon parts?

Once removed from the tree you may need to shave off some excess plastic. Not sure if that's where his gate point is but without looking my guess is that there's extra plastic to trim just a tiny bit there.

I know what excess plastic looks like but this was more like invisible thickness. Like black ice on the street during winter.

Found another with the same type issue. Dragonus (The green dragon from the first waves) has a head connector that is triangular and way too deep. The shape makes it much harder to remove compared to squares.

Does anyone know tricks to handle his helmet without breaking his fragile neck ? :( (this is a really bothersome design flaw.)
